Fast, non-invasive drain cleaning with powerful hydro jetting—serving homes and businesses across San Diego.
Hydro jetting is a high-powered pipe cleaning technology that uses highly pressurized water—typically between 1,500 and 4,000 PSI—to clear out stubborn clogs, debris, grease, and even invasive roots. A flexible hose fitted with a specialized nozzle is inserted into your drain or sewer line, blasting concentrated streams of water in multiple directions to break apart and flush out buildup.
Unlike snaking, which only punches a hole through a blockage, hydro jetting scours the entire interior wall of the pipe, restoring optimal flow and helping prevent future clogs. This trenchless and chemical-free method is safe for most residential and commercial piping systems and is especially effective when other cleaning methods have failed.
At LGE Prime Plumbing, we use advanced jetting equipment and perform camera inspections before and after service to ensure your system is cleared thoroughly and safely.
LGE Prime Plumbing delivers powerful, high-pressure hydro jetting to clear grease, roots, and years of buildup from your pipes—without digging or harsh chemicals. Whether you’re dealing with a major clog or want to prevent future backups, our expert team is ready to help. We serve homes, restaurants, commercial buildings, and property managers throughout San Diego with fast, professional service that gets real results.

If you’re dealing with stubborn or recurring drain issues, hydro jetting might be the best solution. It’s more than just a quick fix—it completely clears your pipes of buildup, blockages, and debris that snaking or chemical cleaners often miss. At LGE Prime Plumbing, we recommend hydro jetting in San Diego when you’re facing:
Frequent Clogs or Backups – If your drains keep clogging even after being snaked, there may be deeper buildup in the line.
Slow-Draining Sinks, Tubs, or Toilets – A sign of grease, soap scum, or scale restricting flow.
Foul Odors from Drains – Built-up organic matter or sewer gas can often be flushed out with jetting.
Grease Buildup in Kitchen Lines – Especially common in commercial kitchens and restaurants.
Tree Root Infiltration – Jetting can cut through soft root intrusions and restore flow.
Preventative Maintenance – Great for restaurants, property managers, or anyone who wants to avoid emergency drain issues.
Hydro jetting is safe for most modern piping systems and is especially useful for older lines when performed at the right pressure. We always inspect first to make sure it’s the right fit for your plumbing system.
At LGE Prime Plumbing, we follow a precise, proven process to ensure your pipes are cleared safely and completely. Here’s what to expect when you schedule a hydro jetting service with us:
We begin with a sewer camera inspection to evaluate your line. We identify the exact location and type of blockage, as well as the condition of your pipes. This ensures hydro jetting is safe and effective for your system.
We set up our commercial-grade jetting machine and select the appropriate nozzle for your pipe type and clog severity. A cleanout or access point is used to insert the flexible hose into your plumbing system.
Water pressurized between 1,500 and 4,000 PSI blasts through the pipe, breaking apart grease, scale, debris, and soft roots. The nozzle sprays backward and forward to clean the full interior surface of the pipe as the hose is pulled through.
Once the line is cleared, we re-scope the pipe to verify that all blockages have been removed and flow has been fully restored.
After the service, we clean the work area and provide recommendations based on what we found—such as future maintenance or other repairs, if needed. No surprises, just solutions.
Hydro jetting is one of the most effective ways to clean and restore your plumbing system—but like any method, it has pros and cons. Here’s what you should know before scheduling service.
✅ Thorough Pipe Cleaning
Unlike snaking, hydro jetting cleans the full interior of the pipe—not just punching a hole through the clog.
✅ Removes Tough Buildup
Easily blasts through grease, sludge, food particles, scale, and soft roots with water pressure up to 4,000 PSI.
✅ Non-Invasive & Chemical-Free
No digging required. No harsh chemicals. Just clean, pressurized water.
✅ Prevents Future Clogs
Because it removes all buildup, hydro jetting helps prevent recurring issues, making it ideal for long-term drain health.
✅ Safe for Most Pipes
When performed by a professional, it’s safe on PVC, clay, cast iron, and ABS piping systems.
✅ Ideal for Residential & Commercial Use
Great for restaurants, apartment complexes, older homes, and high-use buildings.
🚫 Not Ideal for Fragile or Severely Damaged Pipes
Older or corroded pipes may not handle high pressure. We always inspect first to ensure it’s safe.
🚫 Higher Cost Than Basic Snaking
Hydro jetting is more thorough but typically more expensive than traditional drain snaking.
🚫 Not a Structural Fix
Hydro jetting removes clogs, but it doesn’t fix cracks, bellies, or collapsed sections of pipe.
While traditional drain cleaning methods like snaking can be useful for simple clogs, hydro jetting offers a more powerful and long-lasting solution—especially for deep or recurring issues. Here’s how they compare:
Bottom Line:
Snaking is a quick fix. Hydro jetting is a full reset. If you’re tired of the same drain backing up again and again, it’s time to flush the problem out for good.
Hydro jetting and descaling are both advanced methods for cleaning pipes, but they target different types of buildup. At LGE Prime Plumbing, we offer both solutions depending on the condition of your lines and the material inside them.
Which Do You Need?
If you’re unsure whether your clog is caused by soft sludge or hard scale, don’t worry. We’ll perform a full camera inspection and recommend the right solution—hydro jetting or descaling—to restore your pipes to peak performance.
